The first time I came here with my husband it was wonderful. The second time was subpar to say the least. It wasn't busy but our food came out cold, and when my food was remade it was only a few minutes before our server brought boxes the food I had only just started eating. It may not have been the intention, but it absolutely made us feel like we were no longer wanted in the establishment. Our server did end up comping my entee which I do appreciate, but if the staff are gathering up to take shots of alcohol, like my husband and I witnessed, regularly than I suppose the poor service and cold food makes sense.

The burgers are as big as your head, the desserts are rich and solid, and they've got a solid spread on tap.

Our server was Brianna and she kept an eye on every table in the section. The waitstaff are really working to give the best experience, I overheard them double checking if any of the brews were getting low and which ones to watch for extra foaminess.

Lovely decorating too! The lighting is gentle, the driftwood is genuine, the tables have a little pocket of shells inlaid with resin. I'm glad they stayed open later than the other nearby options!

A genuine 10/10!

We had a reservation and showed up about fifteen minutes early. The hostess said, “Well, we have you down for 6:30 but there’s a table ready” like she wanted to make sure we knew she was doing us a favor even though we were early. If it’s not a problem, why even mention it? It was off putting. Our server was great and the food came out in a reasonable time frame. Those are the only reasons I gave two stars. The brisket in our brisket tots was really fatty. The chicken in my Alfredo had a really weird taste to it, and almost looked like it was boiled. My husband’s prime rib dip had a long hair hanging out of it. After seeing in other reviews how they handle food complaints, we decided it wasn’t worth the effort. The whole thing got off on the wrong foot and didn’t really correct. I doubt we’ll go back.

Mixed review here.. the gal the night before was really nice and hospitable, tonight was zero tolerance for folks not wanting food and just wanting a drink and atmosphere.. so lost 50$ for a couple drinks with us. Have a camp next door with plenty and didn't need to blow that kind of money, but one rude statement made me walk out immediately...

Portside Bistro was the perfect spot for lunch while traveling with our two pups. The covered outside patio overlooks the marina, and they even brought water for our dogs. The food was delicious and portions are large—definitely leftovers-worthy. The service was very friendly, and we felt genuinely welcomed with our dogs there. Highly recommend for a dog-friendly, relaxed meal with a view.

I have never in my life left a review for anything, but this experience warranted a first time. We were advised it would be a 15-20 minute wait, but it took 30 min instead. Not the worst, but after sitting down we waited another 30 minutes before our order was even taken. Then when they realized and placed our order it took 45 minutes for it to be delivered to us. Without utensils. We rarely if ever were checked on. Honestly, would not recommend.

The food here is absolutely incredible. To die for. I do a lot of traveling and a lot of eating, I've never found anywhere as good. The meal we had her exceeded all expectations and then some. Hats off to the magician in the back of the house-

Great food in large portions that are reasonably priced.

We had a group of 7 without any reservation and they were very kind and got us in. Everyone had something different and we all loved the food. Our waitress was great. We will be back next time we visit!
